Michigan, the top seed, will battle Tennessee in the Elite Eight at the United Center, with a Final Four berth on the line. Michigan averages 95 points per game, while Tennessee's recent 76‑62 win over Iowa State fuels their confidence.

Michigan, led by Big Ten Player of the Year Yaxel Lendeborg, has dominated its first three tournament games, averaging 95 points per contest. Tennessee, the sixth seed, earned a spot by defeating No. 2 Iowa State 76‑62 and has reached the Elite Eight for the third straight season.

Both teams boast elite length and rebounding, but Michigan's defense and tempo control will be key. Tennessee's strength lies in paint play, though they struggle when shooting below 43%.
